John C. Dvorak's Microsoft Murder Plot: "How to Kill Linux"
|
John C Dvorak's PC Magazine article called "How to Kill Linux," introduced the world to what he called "the lopped-off head approach" - the head being that of Linux, and the beheader being Microsoft. Dvorak's notion is that, since the key to competitive success is to gain dominant market share with a proprietary product, all Microsoft needs to neuter Linux is to usher "MS-Linux" into the world, then cut the driver layer out of Windows and attach it to Linux directly.
[Ed. Microsoft should introduce their own GNU/Linux distribution. Those who oppose proprietary software would not use it, obviously, but even following Apple's lead and developing on top of FreeBSD would be better than trying to improve their current offering. - dcparris]
